Bedding Brothers, of Rockville,
Massr silk manufacturers, have a
branch at Northampton, and about
two years ago began sinking an arte-
sian we'll there. 1t has now reached
depth of $40. All but 200 feet of
the boring has been through sand
stone. The Northampton Herald
says of the work: 'When the sand
stone v as first reached 1t was thought
that at a depth of $50 feet that would
be the last of it. but when this depth
had been attained and the sandstone
still continued, it was then predicted
that by the time the drill had gone
down 1 $50 feet it would be through
this stratum, but not so; and again
another prediction was in order. and
1900 feet was the depth named. But
now the best geologists are at loss
what to say. The well is now the
deepest in the country, and with one
or two exceptions the deepest In the
world"

WIFE AND HUsBAND.-Women
never get full honor for anything
they do. 1t is always divided with
some man who did nothing. When
Jael, for the deliverance of her coun.
try, slew Sisera, the old chronicler
embalms in the immortal story of the
daring patriot one Heber the Kenite
-"Jael, the wife of Heber the Ke-
nite," took a nail of the tent and did
thus and so. Now, what under the
sun had Heber to do with it?" Why
should he be dragged into the story :?
He never did anything but marry
Jael, and while that may indicate
the good taste and Judgment of the
man, 1t doesn't entitle him to i'm
mortality in patriotic story. If he
must come into the narrative. why
should he not come down to us as
"Heber, the husband of Jael ?" That
would sound something like. How
ever, we are doing things somewhat
better now, and there are several
men in America who are known only
as the husbands of their wives. In
fact, that's all that some men, like
Heber of old, ever will be remem-
bered for. Brigham Young was kind

The Cure for "Blackheads."

Blackhead is generally supposed TO
be kind of skin worm, but this is
false idea. The truth is simply
this: The skin, either from the lack
of cleanliness or activity, or both, has
failed to remove the waste materials
from the pores, and the blackhead is
formed from dirt adhering to the oily
substance of the gland. I was re.

NO." 1 said, "of course not. but do
you use soap when you wash your
face" No, he did not. "And do you
rub your face hard and dry after
washingw No, he did not; he
thought rubbing would make the
face red, and it was red enough now.
"That is exactly why his face was
red and sore with pimples. 1t had
not been rubbed, for that process
stimulates the circulation ofthe blood
in these parts. which causes healthy
action of the skin and removes the
waste matter from the glands.
What 1 have been trying to con.
vey is just so sure as you use plenty
of good soap and water and then rub
your face hard until it is perfectly
dry and smooth once a day-but the
oftener the sooner will good results
show-just so sure will you make
great improvement in your complex.

you have toughened the skin and you
will soon be surprised to find what
an amount of rubbing it will bear.
Hard rubbing will make the skin as
fine as silk, and to the touch it will
feel like satin. "-Herdld of Health.

Buffalo Bill a Lion.

Buffalo Bill is making great hit

articles describing his personal ad
ventures. These stories are simply
told. and in good style. Indeed few
visiting Princes could have as many
invitations which pursue him. He
tried to 60 out to the London dinners
when he first came here, but he soon
found that they were too much for
him. Latterly he finds 1t much
more agreeable to entertain people
In his own quarters. where there is
nearly always a crowd when there is
no performance on.
Lord Charles Beresford was for
tunate enough to secure Cody's pres

last meeting Of the Coaching Club.
The Prince and Princess Of Wales
were present among the spectators.
They attracted no more attention

coach went which carried his stall

crowd would follow. And whenever
1t would stop the crowd would mass
as if they were about a royalty car
rage. The papers all speak OF the
stoical Indifference of Cody under all
this fire of admiring glances. The
truth is he is bored by it. He is sur
feited by admiration and attention.
He would like a little more freedom
from notice. But the penalty of
greatness is now upon him, and
wherever he goes he is Immediately
the centre Of great, gaping crowd.
The secret of his success with the
higher classes is his modesty and his
graceful, gentle manners.

journal says that in a railroad accl-

shaken very severely and could not
speak for some time, although con-

around her. Some of the passengers
thought she was dead. Her husband
feared so too, but instead of giving
way to unavailable grief he flew
around doing all he could for his
wife's recovery. When she was pro-
nounced out of danger she said, re-
proachfully:
"John!"

The Story of A SLAYER.


The other day heard d story from 2
sea captain who has been all over the world
and finally settled near Atlanta, the best
place, he says, he has ever found: Among
the seafaring men he knew before the war
was captain that had been SLAYER. Once
he had cargo of 300 slaves, sailing with
them from off the coast of Africa to Cuba.
After few days sail he saw he was chased
by United States man of war. If he was
caught with the slaves the penalty was
death for him and his crew; and his cargo
was worth 100000. So he had two in
centlyeS to get away, and made his prep
aratioDs for either eYent-escape or capture.
He hung the heavy iron cable or chain that
holds the anchor all around the hull of his
vessel, on the outside, just below the edge
OF the deck. 1t was held by some cleats.
These cables are so heavy that man can
hit only about two feet Of one. Then he
had the 800 naked negroes brought on deck
and each ones wrists crossed and tied fast.
They we're then placed along the gunwales,
facing outward and leaning over, and a
strong cord fastened the hands of each one
to this heavy iron cable just below them on
the outside.
Then tho captain awaited the result of
the race. He had on every stitch of can
vas his poles could carry. IF he could run
till dark he hoped to dodge the steamer and
be out Of sight before another day. But
the sun did not go down fast enough, and
the steamer came on too fast. There was
at last no hope of escape. The crew stood
ready with axes; the captain raised his hand,
and in an instant every cleat was knocked
loose. There was sudden jerk, over went
the negroes; there was for an instant fringe
Of 600 black heels in the air, and cable and
negroes were gone to the bottom. Com
modore Maury says the pressure of water
at great depths is such that fishes cannot
go there to devour and chemical dccompo-
sition cannot take place. So these negroes
are down there yet, still tied in circle to
that iron cable, with their heads down and
heels up, in the eternal stiffness of those
depths.
As soon as the man Of war came up
lieutenant boarded the SLAYER and foaad
plenty signs of negroes, but not single
slave. And sae captain was not arrested.
He soon had another cargo Of negroes,
which he this time successfully landed and
sold in Cuba. On his return to Boston,
however, he and his mate fell out, and the
mate told on him. The captain ran away
to Cuba and was not prosecuted. After
awhile his friends succeeded in getting a
pardon for him from the president, aud he
returned to Boston, where he now resides
wealthy, happy and respected. He told
this story to his old friend, who told it to
me. As for the poor negroes jerked over
the guuwales so suddenly headforemost into
the water reyer-wells they were captured
while trying to capture some other negroes
to sell, and only suffered the fate they werel
